Council approves rezone at 71 W. 880 N.; owner plans five dwellings near BYU
Summary
Provo City approved rezoning of 71 West 880 North from Residential Conservation (RC) to Campus Residential (CR). The applicant reduced the proposed density to five units (three one‑bedroom, two two‑bedroom) and showed 10 parking stalls to meet city requirements; neighborhood leadership raised no objection.
The Provo Municipal Council voted 7–0 Aug. 5 to rezone 71 West 880 North from Residential Conservation (RC) to Campus Residential (CR) to enable infill redevelopment. Planner Dustin Wright said the property contains a single‑family home and is surrounded by apartment buildings; the applicant submitted a concept plan and received a positive recommendation from the Planning Commission.
Applicant Terry Cyrex told council the project was reduced to five units from an earlier plan for eight and that the concept shows the 10 parking stalls required for the proposed unit mix. Wright said the proposal includes three one‑bedroom units and two two‑bedroom units; the zoning change would treat occupancy as family occupancy (a family or up to three unrelated singles per unit). Wright and the applicant said 10 parking stalls meet the city parking requirements for that unit mix.
Neighbors were represented by Jocelyn Bracken of the North Park neighborhood district; Bracken said the neighborhood executive board discussed the proposal on March 5, 2025, raised no objections and supported the development. Councilors discussed parking displacement because the applicant previously rented several stalls behind the property to other nearby complexes; the applicant said most of those stalls are currently unused and that proximity to BYU encourages walking.
The council adopted the ordinance to amend the zoning map by a 7–0 vote.
